NAESCO Federal Market Update 2025

Jim provides an update of the NAESCO federal workshop, noting both optimism within the Department of Defense for continued energy efficiency projects and pessimism due to federal agency project cancellations and pauses.

The workshop highlighted the need for industry adaptability and strategic communication using appropriate language. A speaker from the Department of Energy suggested a likely shift away from renewable energy and clean energy initiatives at the federal level under the current administration. Despite uncertainty, the event was considered valuable for understanding the evolving federal energy landscape.
